TouchOSC template for Surge XT

2024-02-14

The Surge XT soft synth has a lot of great qualities. In particular, three of them drew me in:

1. It's available and usable on modest systems including the Raspberry Pi 3/4
2. It supports a 'headless' mode
3. It supports OSC

Together with the Surge XT team (particularly Phil K Stone) I made a template for TouchOSC. This turns a phone or tablet into a controller for Surge XT.

My own setup is:

• A Raspberry Pi 4
• An Akai Midi keyboard
• An iPad
• An MPC

... and this setup is great for jamming with Surge XT.
